Also 'Counter' for a field name has multiple downsides. First one thing, by convention, field names should begin with a lowercase letter. For another, the name does not remotely describe what the field is for -- you are not using it as a counter, but more as a direction indicator. Better would be to use it for the direction itself, which can be found at the end of lines 11 and 14 -- '-1' and '1': <Code Omitted>You will n

That is what those classes were designed to do (particularly the SmoothMover class).

Please show your revised bullet code.

Did you import the Smooth Mover class and have the SpeedBoat extend it?

Maybe its your browser security :?

@Super_Hippo, I had realized that you already knew this after re-reading the first couple lines of your post. It was just that the code you supplied had the incorrect indecis for changing the 'L' to an 'A'.

I didn't mean there was a porblem with getOneIntersectingObject(class) but that I had a problem using getOneIntersectingObject(class) and I made it that attack() never is gonna execute : <Code Omitted> (in public void act() ) but know know I have to test in the method:)

wow it worked ,ive been trying to fix it for about a week thank you very much

Lol, stupid me, how did I not notice that void. Cheers danpost time for bed me thinks.

Awesome, I got a working version. Thanks much for the help

Well, the Actor class has a 'getImage' method which returns a GreenfootImage object and the GreenfootImage class has a 'setTransparency' method. Refer to the class documentations.

You can't call 'getWorld()' in a constructor because the constructor is called before the object is added to the world. Well, you can call that method, but it will return 'null' and you can't call any method (in your case 'addObject') on 'null'.

Each act cycle, you must determine if the actor is standing on anything or not. Allow jumping only if standing on something. My Jump and Run Demo w/Moving Platform scenario has viewable code. Run the scenario and click on the 'WHO' button; then, scroll to the bottom of the page to see an example of how to accomplish it.

I need a better understanding of what you want, exactly. What part of the other actor has to be within 40 pixels (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) of the hamburger ... the center of the actor? any part of its image? if the latter, is its image square?

Explain. Give any error messages. Give details about unwanted behaviors. Supply code (use the 'code' link below the reply box to insert code into posts). Anything that might help resolve the issue. BTW, you can only save the world after compiling or resetting and making changes manually but before any act cycles have been executed.
